[Viva] Aboriginal Group: 10 Week Trauma Group: Pathways to the Present - Transforming Trauma

[anne bonner]

I would love to do a trauma workshop.  Well I don't know if 'love' is the
right word, because it sort of sounds awful and terrifying, but I think
that would be great.  I spoke with a woman from AVI (Kristin?) who does
workshops, and she said to just tell her what we want and they can make it
happen.  This is totally possible!  I think it would be great if it were an
ongoing thing, like for a few weeks, because a short workshop wouldn't be
very good for people, you need some aftercare.
